Scott, That’s a beautiful rifle. Could you please tell us who stocked it and what kind beautiful wood was used? Thanks, Todd

Another highly figured stock! Jim, that is so beautiful and to have the skills to make a stock and build a complete rifle is so special! Thanks Tony for sharing these special rifles for all of us to enjoy. Todd

my mistakes.... I want to apologize to everyone and especially Tony for providing him with the wrong information and thanks for the corrections. With that said I want to sincerely thank all the very talented craftsmen who worked on these two precision benchrest rifles. Thanks to Tony for...

My tuner is bored… Keith, I know the tuner that came on this rifle is bored as well and now I’m understanding why the slight turning on the barrel under it. I also know it’s a precision fit on the barrel and I have to carefully wipe the barrel and tuner to slide it on …it’s a bearing fit...

Additional Notes When I had the rifle built I actually had the rimfire accuracy gunsmith fit two match barrels and both have a slight area turned off under the tuner. I have only fired the Shilen and like I said shows very good potential. But ….I’ve been in the precision shooting game...

Question for the rimfire team. I have a top quality build by one of the top quality gunsmiths using a new 2500X and Shilen barrel. I asked the accuracy rimfire gunsmith to build it just like he would for himself. I always do that when building a new match rifle as I feel they are a lot smarter...

Weaver V16 & V24 scopes I recommended and sold a lot of these Weaver V16 & V24 scopes over the years. For those shooters who couldn’t quite afford the Leupolds they were my recommended second choice. The optics are quite good and they have excellent adjustments. I also have several mounted on...

I meet Bill at Reeds Run NBRSA benchrest shoots in the early 80’s …. I meet Bill at the Reeds Run rifle range in Augusta, Ohio the early 80’s during the various NBRSA shoots. Interesting and fun guy not to mention it was the best of times to shoot! Prayers for his family and friends.High Noon

Bill Ruger and the Savage 99 …. Speaking of aesthetics and functionality. “I always thought the Savage 99 was marvelousness!” Bill Ruger Ruger & His Guns by R. L. Wilson Bill had admired the Savage 99 as a teenager and one of Bill’s earliest inventions was converting the Savage 99 into a...

Sharps 50/90 Billy Dixon used a Sharps 50/90 .....this is my Sharps 50/90 and I hope to shoot it out to 1000 yards someday and hunt a Bison with it. It shoot a 500 grain cast bullet very well at 100 yards! High Noon

...all three steps.. ...ya Bill you must have it hooked up to either to the milking machine or the oil well pump....lol...just kidding High Noon

...not so fast Tim! Here’s my recent article and one barrel maker has recently contacted me with interest in making them...https://forum.accurateshooter.com/threads/should-rimfire-benchrest-shooters-take-a-hard-look-at-micro-groove-barrel-technology.4014914/

.....fat bullets shoot! When I started benchrest shooting in the 80’s I used Larry Earp 6mm flat based bullets. They actually measured .2444 on the pressure ring!! You had to neck turn your cases correctly to use them but did they shoot! And you could actually tip the bullet box upside down and...

Should rimfire benchrest shooters take a look at "Micro-Groove" match barrels........ Last year I decided to build a 10/22 benchrest rifle so I contacted a well known precision 10/22 action maker and didn’t hear back from him so I contacted another one. Both of these companies advertised with...
